Riding the bipolar train

This.  Is.  Just.  Intolerable.

Okay.  So, we were okayed for the EDCD waiver, and then we got Medicaid funding, and then while I was having a happy little phone chat with a person I discovered that their CNAs are prohibited from giving medication. 

To quote her:  "We can  remind a patient, but we cannot administer."

This isn't great, especially since the patient may be convulsing and might need rescue diazapam. In her butt.
